Description

Preparation method of high-adhesion barrier layer for stainless steel substrate copper indium gallium selenide solar cell
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of copper indium gallium selenide solar cells, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-adhesion barrier layer for a stainless steel substrate copper indium gallium selenide solar cell.
Background
In recent years, serious environmental pollution caused by the rapid development of economy becomes one of the important problems facing the development of the current society. The massive use of fossil energy is one of the root causes of environmental pollution. Based on this, people pay more and more attention to the use of renewable clean energy. Solar energy has many advantages of being clean, renewable, inexhaustible, and the like, and is becoming an important choice for solving energy crisis and environmental crisis, wherein the solar cell (photovoltaic) mode is most directly utilized.
The solar cell technology has been developed to date, and various solar cells such as silicon-based solar cells (single crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon), compound thin film solar cells (gallium arsenide, copper indium gallium selenide, cadmium telluride, etc.), and solar cells using organic materials (organic, dye-sensitized, perovskite, etc.) have been formed. The thin film solar cell has a wide application prospect due to the advantages of high absorption coefficient, less raw materials, application of large-scale preparation processes such as roll-to-roll and the like, flexibility and the like, wherein the Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cell has the best industrialization prospect. In order to highlight the characteristics of light weight and flexibility of the copper indium gallium selenide thin-film solar cell, more and more research institutions and companies develop a preparation process research based on ultrathin stainless steel (the thickness is less than 50 micrometers) as a substrate. The stainless steel substrate contains Fe element, which can diffuse into the CIGS absorption layer in the subsequent high-temperature coating process, so that adverse effect is brought, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery is greatly reduced. Therefore, in order to prevent Fe from diffusing from the substrate to the thin film, one generally prepares a barrier film on the substrate surface, and the structure of the conventional copper indium gallium selenide thin film solar cell based on a stainless steel substrate is shown in fig. 1.
To summarize the barrier layer materials used at present, there are mainly Cr (shown in patent application No. 201210054329.7), aluminum nitride (shown in patent application No. 201210027169.7), molybdenum nitride (shown in patent application No. 201620807205.5), silicon oxynitride (shown in patent application No. 201621249997.5), transition metal nitride or transition oxynitride (shown in patent application No. 201510759999.2), tungsten-titanium alloy (shown in patent application No. 201410395198.8), and the like. However, the diffusion of Cr element into the CIGS absorbing layer exists when Cr or other metals are used as the substrate barrier layer, the performance of the battery is also deteriorated, the bonding force between the barrier layer and the substrate is insufficient when metal nitrides, oxides or composite multilayer structures thereof and the like are used, and the film falls off due to chemical solution soaking in the subsequent coating process, particularly in the process of preparing the CdS buffer layer by adopting a chemical water bath method, so that the overall preparation of the battery is influenced.
